Read luggage conditions before flights - you may be positively surprised

In an era of cheap flights over Europe, the one not cheap thing about them is the luggage transport. In most cases, you are entitled to just one piece of hand baggage, and they really mean one — if you wish to have a purse with you, then you can’t have anything else. Also, check-in baggage is normally restricted to 20 KG, and you have to pay for each piece, plus the overweight. However, before your departure, always read the fine print about luggage conditions, as sometimes the airlines (both cheap and regular) have interesting rules.

For example, Norwegian airlines will let you take 2 pieces of check-in baggage of 20 KG each — that’s 40 KG! And last time I’ve checked, easyjet let’s you have the cabin baggage of any weight, in a reasonable amount that is, provided it fits in the specific size (that most of the modern luggage don’t exceed anyway).

Regular airlines give you even better conditions, but again, read them carefully, as you don’t get any message of the above regulations when you, for example, are booking your ticket online. And it’s a pity to read these on-board during the flight in the airline company booklet (as it happened with me). That’s it for today. Next time, I’ll write about some lifehacking behavior while on the airport.
